Light bulb moment. Took time to read some topics and answers in regards to calorie deficit today at lunch. I think I get it now. I just started using Fatsecret last week and had it calculate my RDI with low activity. I thought the RDI was the minimum to eat and then I'd eat on top of that depending on exercise calories. BUT, I now realize that the RDI calculate already took into account extra calories that it estimated I'd need to cover the exercise.

Huh.

So, I just switched my RDI to be for sedentary and then I'll watch my exercise to burn additional calories. This seems to make more sense to me and how I approach counting calories. So, if I do no exercise, I can eat 1600 calories a day and still theoretically lose 1 pound per week. But if I stick to my RDI AND do exercise, I can potentially lose additional weight.

I'm going to stick with it. Slow and steady.
